Lufkin's First Baptist Church to host special prayer time Friday

Lufkin's First Baptist Church will open its doors on Friday to offer a place of peace while the country remembers fallen Deputy Darren Goforth.

The church will open the sanctuary starting at 10:30 a.m. and will keep them open until noon.

"We want the community to come out and support law enforcement," Interim Pastor Tim Watson said. "It lets people get away from the business and get to a quiet place. It is the best way we can honor our first responders."

Watson said there will not be an official service and it will be come and go.

Deputies with the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office served a felony arrest warrant on a man after he allegedly tried to sneak a small plastic baggie containing marijuana in to the county jail Wednesday.
